Chapter 2293: Guan Yu’s Heart, Marriage of Four Kingdoms
Before Liu Bei died, he asked Qin Ji to tell him, and Ying Hao naturally knew everything.
To be honest, Ying Hao was actually quite surprised. He didn't expect that Liu Bei's words before his death were actually pleading for the two sworn brothers. He thought Liu Bei would scold him for usurping the Han Dynasty and being a traitor to the Han Dynasty.
Ying Hao has always felt that Liu Bei was quite hypocritical, whether it was his behavior or other aspects, but now it seems that Liu Bei's feelings towards the two sworn brothers Guan and Zhang are still very sincere.
Liu Bei knew that Guan and Zhang would not surrender to Qin, and was afraid that after his death, Ying Hao would attack Guan and Zhang, but he was actually overly worried.
For Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, Ying Hao had several backup plans, so naturally he would not execute them so easily.
If Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are willing to surrender and be loyal to the Qin Dynasty, then the five tigers will gather together, and Ying Hao will have another trump card, so he will naturally accept and reuse them.
But if Guan Yu and Zhang Fei still think of Liu Bei's kindness, are still unwilling to surrender, or even want to avenge Liu Bei, and continue to fight against the Qin Dynasty, then they will wait to be squeezed out of their last bit of use value by Ying Hao.
Even if one of the two is willing and the other is unwilling, Ying Hao will still implement his plan and crazily squeeze out the value of the unwilling one.
"Your Majesty, Liu Bei committed the crime of regicide and was punished by Ming Zhengdian. Under the persuasion of everyone in the Guan family, Guan Yu's attitude has obviously softened and he can take it for his own use. However, Zhang Fei's attitude is extremely firm.
I would rather die than surrender," Jia Xuhui reported.
Guan Yu is different from Zhang Fei. Guan Yu comes from the Guan family in Jieliang, Hedong, and the Guan family has a large number of talents loyal to the Qin army, including his younger brother Guan Sheng.
Guan Sheng was one of the first generals to follow Ying Hao. He had a high status in the Qin army and was named one of the 108 founding counts of the country.
When Guan Sheng learned that Guan Yu followed Liu Bei and participated in the imperialist rebellion and was caught during the civil strife in Luoyang, he was likely to be sentenced as Liu Bei's accomplice and directly sentenced to death. Naturally, he was very anxious and tried to find a way to use his connections to use the Guan family.
I use all my energy in the hope of saving Guan Yu's life.
But how can it be that simple? Liu Bei committed the crime of regicide. Although this has nothing to do with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, the three of them are sworn brothers. This is the original sin, so the energy of the Guan family alone cannot save Guan Yu.
Just when Guan Sheng and other Guan family members thought that Guan Yu would die, Jia Xu told them that if Guan Zhang was willing to surrender, he would be spared death and allowed them to make meritorious deeds.
Guan Sheng was overjoyed when he learned about it, and quickly mobilized the whole family, as well as Guan Yu's wife and youngest son, to lobby Guan Yu, hoping to change his stubborn brother's mind. However, Guan Yu was already discouraged and even considered committing suicide.
Follow Liu Bei.
The three brothers Liu, Guan, and Zhang all wanted to revive the Han Dynasty. It was with this common goal that the three of them could come together and support and persevere all the way.
But they tossed and turned, and finally the eldest brother Liu Bei accidentally killed the emperor and personally buried the man they cherished most. How could this not make the three of them collapse?
When Liu Bei killed Liu Xie, many people saw it, including Guan and Zhang. This made the two people even more painful. They couldn't even excuse Liu Bei, or even deceive themselves.
Liu Bei had long been determined to die, and both Guan and Zhang knew it. Now Liu Bei was free and no longer had to torture himself in self-blame, and it would be their turn next.
When both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei thought that they would die, they learned that surrendering to Da Qin would save them from death. Both Guan Yu and Zhang Fei decisively refused.
Although the death of his eldest brother Liu Bei was caused by himself, it is also true that Da Qin usurped the Han Dynasty. Guan Zhang, who was influenced by Liu Bei, naturally would rather die than serve Da Qin.
Guan Yu's attitude was originally very resolute, but when he saw his gray-haired parents angrily scolding him for losing his mind in prison, and the whole family running for him, begging his grandfather to sue his grandmother just to save his life,
I suddenly felt extremely ashamed.
He has been the pride of his family since he was a child, and has been regarded as the hope of his family as an adult. But now, instead of bringing any honor to the family, he has brought all humiliation.
When he first learned that Guan Sheng had defected to Ying Hao, and was dragging his family along with him, and wanted to leave his eldest brother, Guan Yu had a big quarrel with Guan Sheng, and bluntly said that Ying Hao was a traitor to the Han Dynasty, and that there would be no good end for being loyal to the traitor.
He would rather break up with his family than follow Liu Bei.
But now, Ying Hao has proclaimed himself emperor, but his eldest brother Liu Bei has died. He has become a prisoner and needs to be rescued by his family.
In the end, the clown turned out to be me.
This naturally made Guan Yu, who had a good reputation, feel so ashamed that he didn't know how to face his family, and even wanted to commit suicide to avoid responsibilities. Under the turns of persuasion from his parents, brothers, wife and children, his desire to die was no longer so strong, and he married his family.
The thought of making atonement for the family.
As for Zhang Fei, he had no relationship with the Qin Dynasty. His most respected sworn brother was killed by the Qin army, so it was naturally impossible for him to serve the Qin army.
When he heard that Guan Yu was willing to surrender but Zhang Fei was not willing to surrender, a cold light flashed in Ying Hao's eyes and he said lightly: "Zhang Fei is brave, straightforward and loyal. I actually quite admire him, but since he can't do it for
If I use it, let's squeeze out the last bit of value from it.
Start a new latent plan, let Xu Shu guide Zhang Fei, and at the same time summon Guan Yu into the palace."
"According to the decree."
Liu Guan and Zhang were not abused after being captured, but for them now, physical trauma is secondary, and mental damage is the most important.
Seeing the once majestic Guan Gong, now looking depressed, Ying Hao sighed in his heart for no reason, and then said: "Unlock Yun Chang's chains."
"No, my lord, if Guan Yu suddenly becomes violent..."
Before Xu Chu finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ying Hao.
"Don't worry, Yun Chang won't be so unwise. Besides, I still have your protection. I'm not that fragile."
"This...No."
Guan Yu looked at Ying Hao with a complicated expression. After the guard opened the chain, he knelt down and lowered his head and said, "Thank you for not killing him. Guan is willing to make meritorious service and serve the Qin Dynasty. I just hope that your majesty will agree to Guan's request."
"Your Majesty" was shouted out, indicating that Guan Yu really bowed his head, but when Xu Chu heard this, his face turned cold and he scolded: "Guan Yu, you are already guilty and have no qualifications to negotiate terms with His Majesty."
"This is not a condition, but a request." Guan Yu said solemnly.
"you……"
"alright."
Ying Hao interrupted Xu Chu again, then looked at Guan Yu and said calmly: "You want me to bypass that black guy Zhang Fei, right?"
Guan Yu was startled and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is wise, although the third brother is unwilling to be loyal to the Qin Dynasty, he will not go against the Qin Dynasty again. As long as your Majesty can give him a way to survive, Guan will be driven by your Majesty from now on."
Ying Hao is calm on the surface, but he is sneering in his heart. He is not the enemy of Da Qin? How can that be done? What I want is for him to be the enemy of Da Qin.
"Yun Chang, I can promise you not to kill Zhang Fei, but you must also agree to one condition."
Guan Yu was overjoyed when he heard this and said quickly: "As long as your majesty does not fool my third brother, Guan will definitely comply with any conditions."
"I want you and Zhang Fei to continue to fight against Qin."
"According to the decree...what? Anti-Qin?"
Guan Yu was immediately shocked, he never expected that Ying Hao's condition would be this.
Guan Yu was not a stupid person. After pondering for a long time, he finally guessed Ying Hao's intention.
Do you want him to defect to other hostile countries under the pretext of opposing Qin, and then secretly help Qin to unify the world?
After Guan Yu put himself in his shoes, he realized that if he were Liu Yu or Liu Xiu, he would definitely be overjoyed when he learned that he and Zhang Fei had come to join them and accept their important role.
After all, after he hung up his seal and sealed the gold, and passed five passes and killed six generals, no one in the world knew the loyalty of Guan and Zhang, and his sworn brother Liu Bei died at the hands of Qin. It seemed natural that Guan and Zhang would avenge his brother and continue to rebel against Qin.
What should be done.
As soon as he thought of this, Guan Yu suddenly shuddered, and his eyes when he looked at Ying Hao became even more awe-inspiring.
What an astonishing calculation, what a terrifying layout.
No wonder the eldest brother was defeated so miserably. It was not that the three brothers were too weak, but that the opponent was too strong.
Just by looking at Guan Yu's expression, Ying Hao guessed what he was thinking, so he smiled lightly and said: "It seems that Yun Chang, you have understood what I am planning."
After Guan Yu gritted his teeth, he asked: "Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that Guan will go through with the fake show and never come back?"
"The whole family in question will vouch for you. I believe Yunchang will make the right decision."
Looking at the confident Ying Hao, Guan Yu suddenly felt helpless in his heart. He found that he was being eaten to death by Ying Hao.
He had gone against the Qin army before, but Ying Hao did not threaten his family because of his younger brother Guan Sheng.
But now if he surrenders and rebels again, the nature will be different. Even Guan Sheng cannot protect the Guan family, and he will harm all his relatives.
"But Your Majesty, even if Guan agrees, the third brother may not still go against Da Qin." Guan Yu said with a bitter look on his face.
"Based on what I know about Zhang Fei, it is very likely that he will avenge Liu Bei. If he is really unwilling, then you can guide him and make him hate me and Da Qin."
Guan Yu: "..."
Now Guan Yu finally understood that Ying Hao had arranged everything for him, and there was no way he could avoid this dangerous task.
Guan Yu took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and clasped his fists and said: "Guan will obey your majesty's order. I just hope that after you dominate the world, your majesty can save my third brother's life."
"Haha, I promise you not to kill Zhang Fei, I mean after you return, the unified leader of the world, otherwise do you think Zhang Fei can survive until then?" Ying Hao said with a smile.
Guan Yu: "..."
Ying Hao took out a token. On the front was engraved the character Xuan, but on the back was a ghost mask that looked like it was crying but not crying, and it looked like it was smiling but not smiling.
"Keep this token. From now on, Chang Yun, you will be my Da Qin De Bang Xuan Zi No. 1 Secret Agent."
The last Xuanzi No. 1 secret agent was Gao Yao, and Gao Yao also exposed his identity after the Jingbei War, so the position of Xuanzi No. 1 was vacant. Now it is perfect for Guan Yu to take over.
Guan Yu tremblingly took the Xuanzi Token No. 1. It was impossible for him not to know about the four secret agents of Daqin, Xuanhuang. He had ridiculed Ying Hao for always using tricks like lurking, but he never thought that one day he would do it.
Will become one of the four secret agents.
What a sin.
Looking at Guan Yu's leaving figure, Ying Hao smiled as if his conspiracy had succeeded. He knew that his plan was already half successful. The next step was to look at Xu Shu and Zhang Fei.
In fact, the initiator of this latent plan was not Ying Hao, but Xu Shu.
After tricking Liu Bei, Xu Shu could have withdrawn and entered the official career in an upright manner, but he actively refused, saying that Xu Shu would be more effective if he infiltrated the enemy, and the pace of Qin's unification of the world would be faster.
Since Xu Shu has such great awareness, how could Ying Hao not support him, so he included Guan Yu in this plan in order to make Xu Shu's latent plan more complete.
Of course, Guan Yu didn't know that Xu Shu was the No. 1 Dizi, but Xu Shu knew that Guan Yu was the No. 1 Xuanzi, and Zhang Fei was the only one who didn't know anything.
Who said that he was destined not to be used by Ying Hao? Then Ying Hao would squeeze out all the use value.
"Send the order and release Guan Yu and Zhang Fei." Ying Hao ordered.
"According to the decree."
After learning that he was released, Zhang Fei's face was full of disbelief, and he couldn't believe that Ying Hao would let him go.
But after learning that he was pardoned because of the Guan family, Zhang Fei's joy suddenly disappeared. He immediately prepared to go to the Guan family to question whether Guan Yu surrendered to the Qin Dynasty, but he was blocked by the servants and refused to let in.
"Yide, let's go, the Guan family won't let you see Yun Chang."
Chen Deng and Jian Yong appeared behind Zhang Fei. After Zhang Fei glanced at the expressionless Chen Deng, he asked Jian Yong: "Xianhe, have you surrendered to Qin as well?"
Jian Yong didn't answer, but looked at Zhang Fei calmly, without any shame on his face.
Not only did he surrender, but Liu Bei's brother-in-law Gan Mao and Qian Long also surrendered to Da Qin, but they did not dare to come to see Zhang Fei.
Seeing this, Zhang Fei already knew the answer in his heart. After being silent for a long time, he asked: "Where is the tomb of eldest brother?"
"Lord, uh, Duke Xuande was buried in..."
————————————
Wei State, Xuchang.
Cao Cao was the first among the kings of the Three Kingdoms to return to his home country, and as soon as he returned to Xuchang, he announced the news of his marriage to Da Qin.
"This time it is not my Wei family that is marrying Da Qin. Song and Wu will also marry Qin. Song is marrying Zhao Kuangyin's sister, and Wu is marrying my sworn brother's daughter. But the princess of Wu is still married.
He is a minor, so he has to wait until he reaches adulthood before entering Qin to consummate the marriage."
After hearing Cao Cao's words, Xun You immediately said: "But my lord, it seems that the princess of our Wei Kingdom has not yet reached the hairpin level, right?"
"That's right, so I am going to accept an adopted daughter and make her marry into the Qin Dynasty as the princess of the Wei Kingdom."
After saying this, Cao Cao's eyes fell on Su Hu who was in the queue of generals below, and he said with a smile: "General Su Hu, I heard that your daughter Su Xinyue has the talents of a fish and a goose, and the beauty of a country and a city. I want to take her in."
As an adopted daughter, I wonder if you are willing to do so?"
Su Hu couldn't help being stunned when he heard this. He obviously didn't expect that his lord would ask his daughter to get married, and he was subconsciously ready to refuse, but one person beat him to it, and that was Cao Cao's brother-in-law, the most powerful general in the Wei Kingdom, Yin Zhou.
